LITTLE BLACK BOX

Post by moonraker »

I was moving wires around and found that when I moved the plug on the black box fixed above the fan, to which a small air hose (VACUMN)runs to from the air intake, - the engine cut out - when I looked, the pins in the plug were much smaller then the holeS in the socket part, therefore not giving a very good electric contact, I have sqwashed the plugs a bit to make a good contact, (FOR THE TIME BEING)

WHAT DOES THE BLACK UNIT DO - IT IS CLAMPED ON BY TWO METAL BRACKETS AND IS NEXT TO THE FAN RELAYS ABOVE THE ENGINE COOLING FAN.

OH, GREAT SITE BY THE WAY!!!!
